NUTRIOSE® is a soluble dietary fiber supplement which enables healthy eating through fiber enrichment and sugar substitution reducing the daily calorie intake.
Facilitating dairy product innovation
Manufacturers of dairy products are under increasing pressure to raise the nutritional value of their products by reducing sugar and fat content. NUTRIOSE® soluble fiber is proving the key to achieving these aims.

Multi-role ingredient
NUTRIOSE® is a range of soluble dietary fibers produced from corn or wheat starch. Endowed with an excellent digestive tolerance factor (probably the best on the market), the NUTRIOSE® range has three general uses:
- calorie reduction (specifically of sugar and fat)
- fiber enrichment
- extended energy release
The health image of dairy products makes them ideal candidates for NUTRIOSE® soluble fiber. This is complemented by the beneficial ways in which NUTRIOSE® (see graph) is digested:

Neutral taste for tastier products
As well as promoting health, NUTRIOSE® helps safeguard the taste of traditional products. It is itself neutral in taste. At the same time, it can mask the after-taste produced by certain intense sweeteners that are common in dairy products. It also heightens the sensation of smoothness and creaminess.
NUTRIOSE® thus makes it possible to make dairy products of high nutritional value that also offer an outstanding level of gustatory satisfaction.
In addition, NUTRIOSE® offers a great number of technological advantages, making it even more attractive to dairy product makers:
- stability under process conditions:
- at low pH, for long periods (demonstration trial: pH 2.5 for 90 days at 20°C)
- heat treatment (sterilization, pasteurization, UHT treatment, cooking, etc)
- easy to use on traditional equipment
- high dispersibility and solubility
- low sensitivity to ambient hygroscopicity
A few examples of applications:
- Fully skimmed milk enriched with NUTRIOSE® (15 g/l) offers the creamy, smooth texture of half-skimmed milk, simultaneously allowing a "high in fiber" claim to be made that meets international fiber consumption recommendations (30 g/d).
- The general health benefits of fermented milks are combined with direct benefits to the colon, when the prebiotic effect of NUTRIOSE® is combined with specific probiotics (type: Lactobacillus GG, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium essensis).
- Low-fat and low-sugar dairy desserts; the enhancing fiber contributed by NUTRIOSE® also imparts outstanding organoleptic qualities.
